There is a need to revise existing (successful) software subsystems. One can?t afford
to develop a bespoke system, as done previously, so therefore `shrink wrapped
solution sets? have to be realised. The problem is how ...

A prototype database is a model of a database which exhibits the desired properties, in terms
of its schema and/or data values, of an operational database. Database prototyping has been
proposed as a technique to support ...

Web Services is an area that encountered a very sudden and huge explosion on its popularity during the latest years. The advantages Web Services provide compared to traditional distributed computing methods such as Remote ...

Techniques for distributed relational database systems have been well researched
and developed. This is unsurprising given that the relational database model itself
has been in development since the early 1970s. In recent ...

A variety of artificial intelligence techniques have been used in attempts to automate design
synthesis tasks. Two common approaches are case-based and decompositional design. While
powerful techniques in their own right, ...

In this technical report we will show the complete sequence of steps for the derivation of
the equation of the Ensemble-Error E = E - A , introduced in the paper by Krogh and
Vedelsby [1], that describes the error E of ...

The objective of the research project is to investigate how Sun's Enterprise Java Bean technology (EJB) and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) could be used to produce a prototype Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) which ...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network is comprised of nodes with wireless interfaces that are able to move arbitrarily, changing the network topology as they do so. Designing a routing protocol for such a network, where connections can ...

Significant research and development in the area of system management has been carried out over the last number of years. This research has led to a number of proven technologies that are currently being used to manage ...

CBR (case-based reasoning) has considerable potential for developing intelligent
assistants for the World Wide Web. Several case-based intelligent applications already exist on
the web but these applications follow a ...

Recent research into the automation of certain tasks within buildings has been shown to provide a
better working environment and also has the potential to make buildings more responsive to the needs
of the community at ...

The objective of the research project is the importation, representation
and 3D navigation of a large-scale city model. The model will be the
backbone for the construction of the proposed Virtual Dublin project.
The ...

The growing use of the Internet has increased connectivity and allowed users to
communicate in a more interactive manner. This had lead to a growing use of ELearning
and Collaborative tools. But one of the biggest ...

Ensembles of learnt models constitute one of the main current directions in machine learning and data
mining. Ensembles allow us to achieve higher accuracy, which is often not achievable with single
models. It was shown ...

Feature subset-selection has emerged as a useful technique for creating
diversity in ensembles ? particularly in classification ensembles. In this paper
we argue that this diversity needs to be monitored in the creation ...

Data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery are intelligent tools that help to
accumulate and process data and make use of it. We review several existing
frameworks for DM research that originate from different paradigms. ...

In ?Something to Reckon With? [6], a system for diagramming syllogistic
inferences using straight line segments is presented (see also Englebretsen
[5]). In the light of recent research on the representational power of ...
